  2. Unit 5 Objectives • Discuss duties and responsibilities of the TFLD/STLduring initial attack assignments. • Identify duties and responsibilities of the TFLD/STLduring an incident transition. • Discuss duties and responsibilities of the TFLD/STLin a Type 3 incident organization. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  3. Unit 5 Objectives Identify methods to ensure assigned resources follow appropriate safety procedures. Describe appropriate actions to take on improved properties during a wildland/urban interface incident. Explain the process for directing a firing operation. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  4. Initial Attack You may be the Initial Attack Incident Commander until relieved. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  5. Initial Attack Considerations • Collateral duties • Fire fatality reviews (30 Mile, South Canyon) identified collateral duties as contributing to the incident. • Risk and Complexity Assessment • Assists the Incident Commander in determining when they have exceeded their capabilities. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  6. Initial Attack References • Wildland Fire Incident Management Field Guide • IRPG • ICS-201 • Incident Organizer • Standard Firefighting Orders Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  7. Incident Transitions Considerations: • Unclear objectives, strategies, and tactics • Chain of command • Delegation of authority • Communication • Increasing incident complexity • Unclear on number, type, and location of resources Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  8. Type 3 Organization TF/STLD might function as Operations Section Chief, Division Group Supervisor, and/or other overhead positions Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  9. Type 3 Organization • Cover large geographic areas. • May be determining strategy and tactics for the incident. • Responsible for meeting the expectations and the Standard Firefighting Orders and Risk Management Process. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  10. Type 3 Organization Considerations • Span of control may be an issue. • Type 3 organization may be managing a more complex incident until a more qualified management organization is available. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  11. Safety Procedures The TFLD/ STL is responsible for ensuring that team members and others are following safety procedures. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  12. Safety Procedures Identify and communicate location of escape routes, and safety zones. Ensure hazards are communicated and mitigated. Brief Task Force/Strike Team on safety expectations for the assignment. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  13. Safety Procedures Follow or establish medical plan. Be aware of names and locations of medically trained people. Order law enforcement if necessary. Create or follow an evacuation plan if necessary. Observe and correct unsafe procedures. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  14. Wildland/Urban Interface The TFLD/STLD may be tasked to identify, evaluate, and take action on improved properties during a WUI incident. Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  15. Wildland/Urban Interface Considerations: Ingress and egress Review map if available. Logistical needs Resource requirements Use appropriate tactics Contact information Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  16. Firing Operations You may direct and assist with various types of firing operations such as: • Tying off fingers, burning out around buildings, or cleaning up pockets of unburned fuel. • Burnout operations Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk

  17. Firing Operations Considerations: Remember your level of engagement Do you have a qualified Firing Boss? Do you have ample resources? Do you have enough time? Do you have the delegation to take action on or around private property or structures? Who would you contact for this delegation? Unit 5 – Responsibilities and Assessing Risk
